"Master Xi… Headman Xi, grievances have their source, debts have their debtors. It was the Second Sister who had a grudge against you in the past, it was the First Branch and them. Now my Second Sister is right here, why do you have to kill us..."

The rain fell heavily. Among the crowd, as Su Wenji stepped forward, he was already drenched. This sudden attack by the Liangshan bandits was undoubtedly a nightmare for the Su family. People who had always lived peacefully had never experienced such wanton slaughter. Watching their relatives fall one by one, some severely injured, bleeding and groaning, many had already broken down mentally. But being driven out by these Liangshan people made the reality of their impending death even more palpable.

Su Wenji's words at this moment perhaps represented not just his own feelings. Many were already terrified. Before Su Wenji spoke, some were already holding their children, kneeling and begging for mercy. At this moment, he was not the only one who wanted to say the same thing as Su Wenji, but he was the first to say it. The rest of the people had already shown signs of agreement in their expressions.

Not everyone failed to foresee such a thing. Upon learning that it was Xi Junyu leading the Liangshan bandits, Su Yu immediately planned to have Tan'er leave to find Ning Yi. He secretly removed Geng, the guard, from protecting Tan'er at that time, so that Geng and the others were not killed when Li Kui and others rushed in. But the chance to escape never came.

When Su Wenji said those words, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Su Tan'er. The protection of a few guards was undoubtedly not enough to save Su Tan'er at this time. But while looking at Su Tan'er, everyone was also looking at Xi Junyu above. This man, who used to be the Su family's manager, but was now leading a group of bandits back, stood there covering the wound on his abdomen, faintly exuding a sense of superiority. But as he looked towards Su Tan'er, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start. Even though he had thought many times about how he would take revenge at this time, when the matter really appeared before him, he was still somewhat hesitant, unsure of how to say the first sentence. At this moment, Su Yu was already walking towards Su Wenji with his cane.

Even at this moment, this old man still held a dominant position in the Su family. The Su family members almost instinctively opened a path. Seeing that Xi Junyu had not spoken for a moment, the Liangshan people were also waiting for the situation to develop. Su Yu walked towards Su Wenji, but Su Wenji also instinctively felt fear. He took a few steps back and said, "Grandpa... Grandpa! I didn't say anything wrong..."

He retreated several steps, then forced himself to stand there. The old man was also soaked all over, and the hand holding his cane was trembling slightly. As he walked, he shook his head: "No, you're wrong. I know you're afraid of death, child... But you're also a member of the Su family. Even though we're merchants, we at least need to know what's right and wrong. Today, those killing your relatives, killing you and me, are these bandits! If you act like this, even if they let you live... I'll kill you with my own hands—"

With Su Yu's trembling roar, Su Wenji screamed "Ah—", and blood splattered. Su Yu probably had never killed anyone in his life, but at this moment, he stabbed the dagger into his grandson's stomach with one strike. As Su Wenji retreated, he pulled out the dagger and slashed again, this time from Su Wenji's left shoulder all the way to his right abdomen. Su Wenji screamed and almost instinctively pushed the old man away, falling backward. Su Yu was also pushed back five or six steps by this, falling to the ground.

Everyone in the square was stunned. The old man on the ground struggled to get up, crawling several times, supporting himself with his cane, and standing up tremulously. He still held the dagger in his hand: "You all remember this clearly! Tan'er is your family! She's your sister! She hasn't done anything wrong all along! I know you're all afraid of death, but being afraid of death isn't a reason to act like animals! Those who owe blood debts are these beasts, that Xi surname who bites the hand that feeds him! Wenji, since you're so afraid of death... Grandpa will send you on your way!"

The old man raised the dagger and was about to rush forward, when people crying ran over and stopped the old man, snatching the knife from his hand. They may not have had the same thoughts as Su Wenji in their hearts, but they couldn't say it under such circumstances. After being stopped, the old man also turned around and slammed his cane on the ground: "Xi Junyu, you beast, if you want to take revenge, then start with this old man!"

The Liangshan heroes were not without anger. Being provoked by this old man, a man in black was about to rush forward: "What if I kill you!" But Lin Chong tilted his head and said in a low voice to Song Wan, the Cloud-Spanning Roc, and others beside him: "Truly a man of fortitude..."

Li Kui looked at the situation below and shouted: "Ning Liheng, if you don't come out, I'll kill this old man first!"

After he shouted this, the man in black had already rushed to a point not far from Su Yu. Su Tan'er shouted: "Stop!"

She had been protected behind by Geng, the guard, and others, but at this time she threw away the rain cloth on her body and walked out a few steps: "Don't kill my grandpa! Xi Junyu, don't you want revenge! Just kill me..." She raised her head in the rain, her gaze sweeping over the Liangshan people around her, "I was the one who decided to kill you! Would you let them go if I die!"

Xi Junyu waved his hand: "I... I didn't want to kill you, but I must have Ning Liheng's life!"

"It's not possible, Xi Junyu." Su Tan'er sneered coldly on her face, shaking her head, "My husband will definitely come and kill you, kill all of you..."

Su Tan'er was not the kind of gentle woman in normal times. Although gentleness was a kind of upbringing, the expression on her face at this time, with disdain, sneer, and a few traces of bleak determination, made Xi Junyu involuntarily think of the expression on Ning Yi's face when he turned back in the courtyard just now. But at this time, he naturally wouldn't show it, laughing loudly: "What are you dreaming about! Your marriage was a mess from the start! Where is he now! I think he's already found a place to hide, so scared he's pissing his pants... Uh..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Tan'er's eyes did not look at him anymore, but just said one sentence: "Whatever..." Reaching back, she also grabbed a dagger, the tip of the dagger pointing at her chest. She took a deep breath, and her gaze swept over, "I know you are heroes of Liangshan. Grievances have their source, debts have their debtors. Today, if I die, can you let them live—"

No one answered, and Xi Junyu didn't know what to say. What he had hoped for was that Su Tan'er would one day be in pain, would regret it, but he didn't expect that her nature would be so unyielding at this time. But he couldn't express the thoughts in his heart at this time. Su Tan'er smiled sadly, aimed the dagger at her chest, took a breath, closed her eyes, and tried to move it, then took another deep breath. A man in black nearby laughed: "Why are you still hesitating, do you want me to help you!"

The man in black was about to come down from the steps, when Su Yu shouted: "Tan'er, don't do this..." Geng, the guard, didn't know whether he should go over to save her at this time, while the others were staring blankly at this scene. At this moment, a wooden stick broke through the air.

"If I were you, I would stay far away—"

The voice cut through the rain. The wooden stick flew across the square, hitting the man in black who was walking towards Su Tan'er. Although it was far away, the force was not enough, and the man in black dodged it sideways. But given the current situation, who wouldn't understand that the protagonist had appeared. Everyone looked over, and saw at the entrance of the corner of the square, Ning Yi, covered in injuries and only slightly bandaged, also appeared there, staggering towards this side. Su Tan'er turned her head back, cried out, moved the dagger away from her chest, and cried: "Go away... Hurry up and go away..."

"Heh, silly words..." Ning Yi walked through the rain, and although his steps seemed somewhat faltering, he smiled at this time, "Why should I go, the heroes of Liangshan should be the ones leaving, everyone... Who came this time? I only know there's the Divine Fire General Wei Dingguo, he's already been killed by me. Your Mourning God Bao Xu, Bao brother is still alive. What are your names, did Song Jiang come? Lu Junyi? Wu Song? Oh, sorry, let me formally introduce myself, in the Jianghu, people call me the Blood-Handed Butcher, Ning Liheng..."

As he walked, his pace was neither too fast nor too slow. While speaking, he rubbed his forehead, as if he was not afraid of the assembled Liangshan heroes around him. The situation he mentioned about Wei Dingguo and Bao Xu startled everyone. As he walked across this small square, a man in black hiding on the high ground on the side suddenly pounced on Ning Yi. Also at this moment, Ning Yi suddenly and fiercely waved his hand, grabbed the man in black's collar, and slammed him to the ground with a bang. Water splashed, and the two figures exchanged blows several times in the rain and water, tumbling a distance of nearly ten feet. The man in black was only struggling, and suddenly cried out in pain. Ning Yi had already snapped his arm with a "crack", followed by a fierce slash, stopping the knife on his neck. One of the man in black's hands had been twisted into an extremely distorted shape, kneeling in the rain like that, with Ning Yi holding a knife against him. Five or six men in black had already rushed over.

"Did you think I was kidding!?"

Ning Yi turned his head back and shouted violently. The rage in his heart was already extreme, and he could only vent it this way at this time. The Liangshan people, along with the Su family's prisoners, trembled involuntarily at his skill.

In the moment he made his move, a large cart also slowly drove out from the corner of the square. The cart did not have a shed. Several people were tied up tightly on it. Su Wending, Su Wenfang and others held weapons, guarding the cart, ready to chop down at any time.

On the cart, in addition to several men in black, were Xue Yong and Bao Xu, who were severely injured. When Li Kui and others saw this situation, their eyes were about to burst: "I am Li Kui, I'll chop you into pieces!" Li Kui roared and jumped down from the roof. Ning Yi smiled coldly: "Good, I've remembered it!" He exerted force on his hand, and with a "whoosh", kicked the subdued man in black to the ground, the blade still pointing at him, looking around, taking a breath.

"What Liangshan people, nothing more than this. This man grew up with the Su family's favor, established a career and became the manager in the Su family, but because the Su family did not recruit him as a son-in-law, he became jealous and colluded with outsiders to bite the hand that feeds him. Heh... But it's okay, you are probably all such shameless people, I accept my fate today."

As Ning Yi said these words, Lin Chong and others frowned and looked at Xi Junyu. In fact, the people on Liangshan also knew that Xi Junyu, Ou Peng and others had plotted to seize the Su family's property in Jiangning, but most of the people on the mountain were like this.

"Nothing to say! You've been in the city for about the right amount of time! Today, you've killed half of the Su family, we accept it! Your brothers, and those still alive, are in the back! If you really value the brotherhood, take the people away! We'll settle the accounts later! But if you still hurt a single Su family member today, we'll immediately go for mutual destruction! You're getting a big advantage in this deal!" After he said this, his face was livid as he pointed the war blade towards the cart in the back, "How about it!?"

He was ruthless and vicious, and the Liangshan people were all seasoned veterans who licked blood off their knives. "Eight-Armed Nezha" Xiang Chong gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going to kill a few more people, I don't believe you dare to go for mutual destruction! A few lives for a few lives, Jianghu rules!"

"Then try to see if I'll follow Jianghu rules with you!"

Ning Yi's answer came down immediately, without giving any face, and the other party's expression became more and more ferocious. The entire group of Liangshan people stirred for a moment. Everyone in the square was silent for a long time, their hearts in their throats, some secretly cursing Ning Yi for not giving people a way out at this time, wasn't he seeking death for his whole family?

In fact, these people did not understand that with the ferocity of the Liangshan people, as long as Ning Yi hesitated in the slightest at this time, they would definitely kill one or two Su family members to see Ning Yi's reaction. At this time, Ning Yi could only choose to go for mutual destruction. If Ning Yi did not dare, the Liangshan people would turn around and see through Ning Yi's weakness, seize the opportunity, and kill the entire Su family.

His reaction made the Liangshan people not dare to kill people to test him after all. But Xiang Chong was angered by his words, and took the fire-tipped spear in his hand and forced his way over. "Cloud-Spanning Roc" Song Wan frowned and said: "This child cannot be kept..."

During this period of time, the Liangshan attack broke out suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, nearly half of the Su family was killed. Originally, no one could swallow such a blood feud, but after Ning Yi came out, he did not mention this matter much, and even tried to keep his own brothers alive to exchange them. He was saying that I won't hold you accountable for killing nearly half of my family, I'll also return your brothers who are still alive to you, and let's stop here today. This kind of temperament was really a bit terrifying. When most people encounter such a thing, even if they have the awareness of knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood, they would at least say a few harsh words, but he hardly said any harsh words, just said that the accounts would be settled later. No one knew how much anger he had suppressed in his heart.

Xiang Chong looked angry, walked down the steps, and halfway there, a spear suddenly picked over, blocking his spear tip. Looking sideways, it was Lin Chong, whose expression was uncertain. Also at this time, an object flew from the side of the square, aimed at the tall "Cloud-Spanning Roc" Song Wan. Song Wan blocked it with a giant sword, and the object flew into the sky. When it fell, a figure steadily caught it in his hand, it was a spear. The "Soaring Great Sage" was the most clear about this kind of thing, and said in confusion: "Qi Family Soul-Reaping Spear?" The Qi Xinyong three brothers had arrived at the square.

Almost at the same time, a figure pierced through the black curtain of rain, and pounced directly on Ning Yi. The spear was raised in the sky, and slashed down angrily. At this time, there were as many as six or seven men in black around Ning Yi, each holding knives and spears. The spear slashed down, and with a "whoosh", a waterlight bloomed a few meters away. The weapons in the two people's hands slammed into the ground with a "ping". These people were all elites, and the rest of the people suddenly rushed over. Then, only that iron spear swept across a half circle with a "hoo", and several people were swept away under this spear. Some weapons had already flown out, and some could still hold the weapons, but their mouths were numb, and one person was directly swept onto the ground.

The power of this spear was truly amazing. After sweeping past, the iron spear was placed in front of Ning Yi, meaning to protect Ning Yi, which made Ning Yi's body lean back slightly. He was stunned, and then patted the spear shaft. In the rain, more figures appeared one after another, mostly people from the Secret Intelligence Division. Wen Ren'er ran to Ning Yi's side, first cupped his hands, and said to the young military officer: "Colonel Yue, thank you." Then he said to Ning Yi: "Sorry, we came a bit late."

There were not many people in the Secret Intelligence Division, and at this time they could only hurriedly gather a few, but it was only enough to confront the Liangshan people. Ning Yi said to the other side: "You have less and less time, what are you still thinking about!?"

Only the man on the steps with a big spear blocking Xiang Chong said: "Good!" He pointed to the Su family below, "We'll leave immediately, if you don't let people go by the edge of the square, we'll kill our way back immediately, and see how many of your family can survive."

The Liangshan people were not afraid of the support that Wen Ren'er and others had appeared at this time, after all, there were too few of them. They just didn't want to waste any more time. After the person said this, he began to wave his hand to give orders. The men in black and Liangshan leaders who had surrounded the Su family began to head towards the exit of the square. A black man with a pair of broad axes said: "Grandpa's name is Li Kui, remember it for me."

Ning Yi frowned and ignored him. As soon as the Liangshan people withdrew, the people on this side began to go over to the Su family and separate the two sides. Su Tan'er trotted over, looked at the seriously injured Ning Yi, and didn't know where to support him. Ning Yi waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. The Liangshan people on the other side had retreated to the edge of the square. Ning Yi said: "Let the people go." Su Wending and others driving the carriage were still somewhat hesitant, but then they still let the carriage drive over there. Immediately, the Liangshan men in black came over to check the inside and outside of the carriage for any mechanisms, and then checked the injuries of Bao Xu and others.

About six or seven zhang apart, the Liangshan people began to retreat outside the Su family mansion, with the two sides in the final confrontation. Ning Yi was physically weak and said to Wen Ren'er beside him: "I agreed to what I said before."

"Uh?"

"Prince Consort Kang told me that you're going to deal with them recently, right? I'm thinking about seeing if there's anything I can help with, and contribute what little I can. Please take care of me..."

"That's great." Wen Ren'er cupped his hands. "With Brother Ning coming over, we'll be even more powerful."

Ning Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the Liangshan people over there: "There aren't many of them, and they're carrying the wounded. Let's find a way to bite them, we shouldn't let these people go back to Liangshan alive."

Wen Ren'er nodded: "That's natural. But... Brother Ning, you're seriously injured, first..."

"How many people are there in Liangshan now?" Ning Yi smiled and interrupted him

"Including bandits and their families, there are probably forty to fifty thousand."

"Forty to fifty thousand, the workload is a bit large. Let's race against time, I'm fine." Ning Yi paused, and said to the military officer on the side, "This brother is..."

For some reason, the military officer seemed to be quite respectful to him, cupping his hands: "My surname is Yue, given name is Fei, I am a vanguard under Commander Xin, it's a great honor to meet Mr. Ning, it's really an honor."

Ning Yi was stunned for a long time: "...Who?"

The military officer thought he was asking what "Commander Xin" meant, and said: "Commander Xin Xingzong. I heard from Official Wen that the city gates of Hangzhou that day were all opened thanks to Mr. Ning's design, and we were the ones who first entered the city at that time."

He spoke of this with great honor, smiling brightly for being able to stand beside a hero like Ning Yi. Ning Yi licked his lips, then nodded: "Oh, then... I'll leave it to you..."

"Ah?"

The other party was also stunned, looked at the Liangshan people who had withdrawn. Although he was skilled in martial arts and full of righteousness, he naturally understood that he could not handle this matter himself. He was taken aback in his heart, Ning Yi's body swayed: "Okay, the following words..." With a "ping", the war blade in his hand fell to the ground. Ning Yi looked down in confusion, then looked at his hand, and then, his vision began to blur. He could no longer hold the blade, and his body was truly exhausted.

As the picture faded away, exclamations from Tan'er and others were heard in his ears...

On the square, the Liangshan people rushed out of the Su mansion, and some were taking care of Bao Xu and others on the cart. They could probably see the clues of Xue Yong's injuries, but only Bao Xu's physical condition was strange, with all kinds of large and small wounds, corrosion and beating marks on his head and face. He didn't know how much torture he had suffered to become like this. Li Kui had always had a good relationship with Bao Xu, and his eyes were about to burst. He couldn't wait to kill his way back in and kill the entire family.

Suddenly, Bao Xu's body moved, and he said something in a hoarse voice. Blood was flowing from his eyes, and he could no longer open them. Naturally, he couldn't see what the surrounding situation was. Li Kui and others spoke loudly next to him: "Brother, it's okay! It's okay! Let's go back! We'll kill our way back later! We'll kill his entire family!" He didn't know if Bao Xu heard these words. On the cart, only his throat moved a few times, and then he shouted out again: "Despicable! Shameless villain! Despicable—" In that voice, there seemed to be endless resentment and grief, which everyone heard clearly.

They had always known that Bao Xu was tough, staunch, and a cruel and murderous person, feared by all. At this time, they didn't know what had happened to him to become like this. Recalling the appearance and expression of that Son-in-Law in the square, although everyone had always licked blood off their knives, a chill couldn't help but rise in their hearts...
